Winner of the 2000 Commonwealth Writer's Prize and the 1999 QSpell Award for Best First BookRights sales: German, Dutch, UK, French and US.Please don't imagine, as I did for so long, that the contents of the Page will somehow set in motion the events that follow. Life's not like that. Its course is not printed on a sheet of paper, ripped from a random book; only mystics and children would think otherwise.It is by no means clear just how much control Jeremy Davenant has over his own destiny. He's attractive, clever, hedonistic and generous, and he teaches (albeit with forged credentials) at a Montreal university. He even has a sabbatical coming up. Yet one glance from a dark lady in the street below, and his life veers into chaotic mischance and obsession.The trouble is, the world is full of signs for Jeremy. The Page-ripped out of an encyclopedia and given to him in childhood by his "uncle" Gerard-is supposed to chart out his life; and somehow the Zulu tyrant Shaka, the Indian love epic Shakantula, and the city of Shakhtyorsk in Ukraine all start to feature in his life-along with William Shakespeare and, of course, his Dark Lady.But Milena's life (not to mention her sexual identity) requires as much decoding as the Page, and Jeremy stumbles after her into farce, terror and-for a brief spell-bliss."Prisoner in a Red-Rose Chainis a gleeful satire on our times, a romantic comedy that deals with authentic obsession, an allusive paper chase through the maze of our culture." "Jeffrey Moore is a writer of rare elegance and wit, not averse to slapstick when it suits his purpose."

Prisoner in a Red-rose Chain

Winner of the Canadian Authors Association Award for Best Novel Noel Burun has synesthesia and hypermnesia: he sees words in vibrant explosions of colors and shapes, which collide and commingle to form a memory so bitingly perfect that he can remember everything, from the 1001 stories of The Arabian Nights to the color of his bib as a toddler. But for all his mnemonic abilities, he is confronted every day with a reality that is as sad as it is ironic: his beloved mother, Stella, is stricken with Alzheimer's disease, her memory slowly slipping into the quicksands of oblivion. The Memory Artists follows Noel, helped by a motley cast of friends, on his quest to find a cure for his mother's affliction. The results are at the same time darkly funny, quirkily inventive, and very moving. Alternating between third-person narratives and the diaries of Noel and Stella, Jeffrey Moore weaves a story filled with fantastic characters and a touch of suspense that gets at the very heart of what it means to remember and forget, and that is a testament to the uplifting power of family and friendship.

The Memory Artists

"On the last stroke of November, as Nile Nightingale examines a church with a faded for-sale sign, he is startled by a gun-racked pickup barrelling down the country lane. With a sack roped to the roof, it veers past the church and comes to a spinning stop beside the cemetery in the back. Silence, then a thud. With that sound ends the peace he expected to find when he fled the addictions, exhaustions, and legal problems of home by heading north, illegally, into Quebec's Laurentian Mountains. Inside the burlap sack is the bloodied but breathing body of a teenage girl. Against his better judgement, Nile resolves to treat her wounds and find those who left her for dead. The Extinction Club is a powerful and poignant depiction of wildlife plunder and of those who dare to oppose it. It is also a darkly comic tale, in which the very urban Nile and the country-smart, near-genius Céleste teach each other about life and death, love and loss."--Penguin.ca.

Die Gedächtniskünstler

Nile Nightingale, a troubled man in search of refuge, arrives in the Laurentian mountains of Quebec: a remote land home to rare wildlife and a violent hunting community. He soon finds haven, in the form of a run-down country church for sale. Until, that is, he stumbles upon something in its snow-covered graveyard. A bloody sack, tied with Christmas ribbon. Inside, slashed and beaten, is fourteen-year-old Céleste Jonquères, whose recent testimony has put the hunters' leader, a man who's killed more animals than a hundred winters, behind bars. What follows is a darkly comic tale, in which the very urban Nile and the country-smart Céleste teach each other about life and death, love and loss. Inspired by true events, The Extinction Club is a powerful portrayal of wildlife plunder and those who dare to oppose it.

Ain't No Sunshine when You're Gone

De Canadese bergen. Op de laatste dag van november stopt man-on-the-run Nile Nightingale tegen het middernachtelijk uur bij een kerk met een verweerd Te Koopbordje ervoor. Hij wordt opgeschrikt door een pickup die over het landweggetje voorbijschiet. Op het dak is een zak vastgebonden. De vrachtauto slingert om hem heen en komt halsoverkop tot stilstand naast het kerkhof. Stilte, dan een bons. Met dat geluid komt er een einde aan Niles rust. In de juten zak bevindt zich het bloederige maar nog ademende lichaam van een jong meisje. Tegen beter weten in besluit Nile haar te verzorgen en achter diegenen aan te gaan die haar voor dood achterlieten. Het genootschap van de laatste dieren is een sterke en aangrijpende verbeelding van de illegale jacht op wilde dieren en van hen die daartegenin durven te gaan.

Het genootschap van de laatste dieren

Nile Nightingale is on the run. Fleeing across the border to rural Quebec, he seeks refuge at an abandoned church where his junked-up, overstimulated mind realizes that he has just witnessed a body drop—in a bloody sack tied with Christmas ribbon. The contents, unconscious but still alive, turn out to be fifteen-year-old Céleste Jonquères, who has been beaten and slashed, like wild game, to slowly bleed out. From his hideout, as he nurses his patient back from the brink and begins to face his own life, he pieces together what he has stumbled into. Animal rights activists, Céleste and her beloved grandmother have taken on a vicious poaching ring, operating from Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains and dealing in bear and other animal parts for the international market, with the collusion of corrupt rangers and police. Her grandmother has died suspiciously. And now that Nile has saved Céleste from the dead, the poachers and their accomplices in this small town have taken notice and are cautiously, but inexorably, closing in. Featuring two brilliant misfits as unlikely sleuths and by turns comic and darkly tragic, this haunting thriller is a neo-noir tour de force, abounding in puzzles and mysteries from a missing cat to the fate of the Eastern cougar.
